I would say there isn’t any market for it at all. That leads me to believe that there is something horrible happens when used for lumber. Is it a plant/shrub or an actual tree?? I have only heard of a Goldenrod Tree my kids Pokemon games ;)

Top, is it hard, grainy ?
Never came across it as a wood, just bushes here.
I’ve a small collection of ofbeat stuff I try to get at every once in a while..after all it’s wood, gotta be good for something, right ?
Honeysuckle that got too big, realy neat grain, but in drying it kind of unravelled, spiral split, Arr..More bookmarks..
Caragana (sp?) nice to work with, stinky though, realy big color changes, from a vibrant yellow to a dark chocolate brown, but fuzzy like cottonwood when you try to finish it.
I’d at least try a bit of the Goldenrod, cut and dry a bit , plane, see if it’s worth going further.Maybe you’ve found a domestic wood treasure ?

Hey Bob, I didn’t even know there was a goldenrod tree. LOL Up here goldenrod is a weed that heralds the end of summer and the beginning of hayfever season as it blooms at the same time as ragweed. Awful hard to turn or saw a 1/4 inch diameter trunk. ;-))))
